Impact Investing in Action Fellowship

Impact Investing in Appalachia Immersive Class and Fellowship (January 2025). Applications due: Oct. 18th

This immersive class and fellowship gives students the opportunity to learn about the growing field of social entrepreneurship and impact investing while seeing first-hand the challenges and opportunities of investing in rural communities. The program is situated in one of the most promising areas for significant economic evolution: Appalachia. During this experiential class students will learn from a variety of impact investors and entrepreneurs who bring decades of experience seeking a range of financial, social, and environmental returns across Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky.

Participation in this class is competitive and funded with a $3000 Undergraduate January-Term Tadler Fellowship – this funding is to defray the costs of the J-term traveling class entitled “Impact Investing in Action: Appalachia.” The fellowship covers all tuition, travel and lodging costs for in-state students and most of the costs for out-of-state students.

​Fellowship recipients will be notified by November 2024 and be batch enrolled in the J-term class and the tuition will be directly covered for students from the Fellowship.  Apply here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1e-UGKMsr02xA8Yn1CftgfD_VDS1JykNrKOnF3mTPRy4/viewform?edit_requested=true
